Synopsis

LISTEN TO GREGOR PAUL TALK WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVEThe selection poser for the All Blacks this week in Japan will be trying to work out how much game time their newly returned contingent of formerly wounded warriors will be able to handle.The All Blacks have welcomed back Dane Coles, Brodie Retallick, Liam Squire and Joe Moody and when all are game fit and seasoned, they would be definite starters.And that's the question the selectors have been trying to answer in the last couple of days – how ready are these four and the newly returned Nepo Laulala to take on the Wallabies?The answer in the case of Retallick and Squire is easy enough. The former hasn't had a huge amount of rugby in the last four months having been out for six weeks with a broken bone in his chest and then another with six with a damaged shoulder.But he's proven he's in possession of a huge engine and the coaches will be prepared to back him to start and hope to get a solid 60 minutes to 65 minutes out of him alongside Sam Whitelock.Squire
